upon having my say in a forum regarding how long does one wait before meeting someone it got me thinking about distance, how far is too far to travel for you to meet someone? and more importantly how close is too close to you to not meet someone . ie/ would you meet someone in next street say?

I think it would depend on the person, although if they were further away it might take more organising.
It's very easy for me. I'll go as far as I can afford with regard to the fuel.
I'd swing with next door if I could (she's a rather tasty young lesbian as it happens)!
But then I'm a male slut biggrin
We wouldn't go over say about 50 miles or so give or take a few miles, but only for logistical reasons, we have young children so its not easy to travel to far afield.
I would meet the next door neighbour if I fancied him wink
i know someone.....6 doors away from me....lol...and it can be very useful !!! I say the closer the better.
distance..well..i say an hour.....i mean thats a two hour round trip....any more than that....and think could count me out.
once did a 200 mile round trip for a couple who were very VERY hot....alas it didnt work ot and play was stopped halfway through and we had to drive the 100 or so miles back home.....
now we would go maybe no more than 40 miles....and sadly neither of my neighbours are at all fanciable,,,,but have played with people from quite local.
We rarely meet one to one but have travelled 40 miles to visit people we know well who are guaranteed to make the journey worthwhile.
However, we regularly do a round trip of 150 miles to visit Chameleons and have travelled from Manchester to Kent to clubs. We regularly go to the nearest club to us which is only about 4 miles away. The furthest we've been for swinging is Amsterdam - we're regulars at a club there now. lol
All depends on finances at the time.
when I'm flush half across the country without a problem. :bounce:
When I'm skint, half way up the High Street rolleyes
would I swing locally? give me half a chance :rascal:
When I joined the site last week, I was thinking probably about 30 miles or so.
A week later and no meets, I'm thinking Uzbekistan
:giggle:

We have been known to do a 300 mile round trip on the spur of the moment to visit a very special friend of ours but these days, with family commitments, work and price of fuel etc etc etc, we normally stay nearer to home (we dont actually ever get round to arranging any meets, its more for the socials and munches).
As for being too close, I think someone who showed up as living '0' miles away on their profile would probably a bit too close for comfort wink

I've heard Beki & Stan are very accommodating! wink
i would travel anywhere if the girl/situation was what i wanted.
beggers cant be choosers after all! lol
Well so far:
Closest meet -- about 500 yards
Furthest meet -- about 75 miles ( which was for a pre-meet coffee and didn't actually develop)
Furthest meet planned - 200 miles ( with someone I've met before when they were "local" )
Living in the midlands with a good motorway network I'd usually say around 90 minutes travelling -- which means around 80 miles north-south or around 50 miles east-west
furthest someone has travelled to me is :shock: a few hundred miles nearer 400 by time s/he/they got home i dont travel far though i wish i could.

Winch, I was thinking about 52 miles might be the optimum distanceworship
I haven't really travelled far for a one to one meet only for a munch biggrin
However, I used to think "too local" wasnt good.
Recently met a couple within spitting distance and its been the best thing!
So I suppose it depends on the person/people rather than the distance. biggrin
Am not one for crudeness... (honest!) but you know the phrase "you don't sh*t on your own doorstep"? :shock: Well I kind of apply that rule... Or, probably a nicer way of looking at it is, I tend not to want to meet anyone with a local postcode!
I have frequently met people who live in London or the south. Usually we agree to meet halfway ish. However, I have travelled down south and equally had them travel to me. Ooooh, and one guy I met recently travelled all the way back from New Zealand to play with me (admittedly, he was in London for a conference, so that's still a fair way!)
Nola x
p.s. Mister Wood... the North West ain't nearly as difficult to get to as Uzbekistan.... wink

and you get the bonus of the lovely weather up here too! smile
I have travelled from here in Yorkshire to both the Midlands and London for meets. And like a few others have said, I would be a bit reluctant to meet up with someone who lived too near me....
once did a 200 mile round trip for a couple who were very VERY hot....alas it didnt work ot and play was stopped halfway through and we had to drive the 100 or so miles back home.....

Can i be nosey and ask why the play had to stop?
Or is that too personal?
Still getting used to the etiquette or whatever the word is lol x
Being near Abergavenny I'd say, Shrewsbury to the north, Gloucester to the east, Bristol to the south and Llandrindod to the west. Though I visit relatives on the London/ Essex border too.
Distance is no real object.....It would simply take a little longer to plan thats all..
As for how close dunno
Not too close I dont think......Could become complicated ....
i don't think any distance is to far for the right person, saying that i wouldnt go far for a first meet but if i had met them b4 and i knew i liked them and they was genuine im make the effort, as for to close i wouldnt meet anyone if their location came up as 0 miles away, i have met people who are really close b4 and i dont like it when i bump into them when taking the nipper to school etc each to their own tho i guess
our first meet many years ago we had a 400 mile round trip and it wasn't worth it to say the least,we was invited there under "false pretence", as we was new and nervous we took fair bit of alcohol to drink, the hostess didn't seem interested in any bi action with mrs c (although dozens of emails and phone chat suggested she would teach mrs c all about bi stuff). and when I went to toilet the host took advantage of mrs c which could be described as but because i was "over the drink drive limit" had to stay there for few hours in a not too likeable atmosphere.
We too not keen on meeting someone with same post code either, 50 miles is a reasonable distance but would travel 100 miles for a busy house party.
I would luvvvv to meet someone who lived in the same town who could accomodate. That actually would be my ideal. The place is big enough to still be discrete and as I've not really been out much in the last 8 years not many people know me.
I did have a buddy for a short time in the same district as me. No one new me in the flat he lived at and it was great escapism. Unfortunately he fell in love with someone he met before me and we called it a day as it was developing into a relationship.
Distance is difficult being a single Mum as my childs Dad is not in the same Country and my Mum is a pensioner so not fair to keep asking her. Now he is a bit older and it is legal for me to leave him on his own I will do up to 30 miles if I can afford the fuel. Any further and I worry.
Furthest I've been.....12 hours on a coach :shock: :shock: But then that was a break for me for a couple of days, seeing somewhere new, and spending some time with a very dear friend. The several days of great sex was purely incidental. innocent
Closest, I met a guy quite by chance who lived just over a ten minute drive away......pretty much everything is at least half an hours drive away from here - so that was cool. He had his own place, so I could just give him a call & pop over when I fancied a legover.
The best bit.......he spoke Russian! :rascal:
No distance is too far, for the right person/people. Closer is more difficult if it doesn't work out.
But then you never really know before hand, do you?
I have heard a few years ago about someone who arranged a meet with his sister :shock: (by accident of course!)

without going into detail, not long after play started one half of the couple found it really wasnt to their liking and decided not to continue.
one in a long list of the perils of swinging I suppose
we have travelled as far as Portugal and Majorca to meet with couples and to visit clubs. We dont have the problems a lot of couples seem to have which are ties, our children left home and have jobs that are accommodating to time off.
We do play close to home and being very discrete manage it no problem
